Now and Forever by Mariella Starr

As a ragged child raised in the slums, Scott always knew he would leave that life behind him someday. He was determined, and nothing was going to stop him from reaching his goal to be a vaudeville performer. Early on though, he took on the role of protector, friend, and mentor to a skinny little girl pretending to be a boy, who came from an entirely different background. He had to help her, because while her family had money, they showed her no loyalty or love.

Sasha’s life was much different from Scott’s. But Sasha had a special talent of her own, an affinity for musical instruments, which was overlooked and discouraged as she grew up. Sasha believed in Scott’s dreams of performing and she had dreams of her own as well. Now she had to convince her protector that he wasn’t a pretend brother figure and that she could be his partner in all things including love for now and forever.
